Apparently those blue ribbons you’re seeing on some of the celebrities tonight are part of an ACLU campaign.
Clearly the accessory of the night will be the @ACLU ribbon, reminds me of the early days of AIDS AWARENESS & the red ribbon, #NeverForget

So far we’ve seen Lin Manuel Miranda (“Hamilton”) and Ruth Negga (“Loving”) with the light-blue fashion-political statements:

Hopefully interviewers ask these pro-ACLU celebs what they think about the organization’s recent defense of disabled gun owners:
How unpopular was this rule? It brought together the NRA, ACLU, and disability charities and mental health professionals on both sides

The “extremist groups” being the ACLU, the National Council on Disability, and Yale’s Medical School? https://t.co/OOqpnpbf3n

Thing is, this one actually is. The ACLU backed this, as did a host of mental health and disability groups.

The ribbons popped up Saturday night at the Spirit Awards, too:
